Three age groups

The right magic for every kid

Each part has its own 24 cards and parent guide, written for that age.

Part 1

Classic

School-age kids

24 mischievous, kid-delighting cards — zip lines, cocoa night, candy cane hunts, and a goodbye on Christmas Eve.

"Day 4 · Zip line! — Wheee! I zipped across the room."
Part 2

Toddler

Ages 2–4

24 read-aloud cards a grown-up reads aloud — peekaboo, dance party, animal sounds, and a soft-snow finale.

"Day 7 · Dance party — Wiggle, jump, spin, freeze!"
Part 3

Teen

Ages 13 & up

24 low-pressure, funny cards — chore coupons, phone-free dinners, trivia night, and a grateful goodbye.

"Day 5 · Chore coupon — This coupon cancels one chore."

The 24 days

A peek at the mischief

Each card signs off "Love, your elf" — with space to write your elf's name.

1

I'm here!

I flew all the way from the North Pole to watch the fun. Be kind and be helpful.

2

Breakfast hide-and-seek

I'm hiding at the breakfast spot. Find me, then eat a good breakfast.

3

Cocoa night

I made a cocoa station! Tonight we sip cocoa and tell our favorite holiday memory.

4

Zip line!

Wheee! I zipped across the room. Find where my ride began and ended.

5

Story time

I'm reading to your stuffed animals. Pick a book and read to them too!

6

Mirror message

I drew a heart for you. Tell someone you love them today.

7

Snowball surprise

I had a cotton ball snowball fight! Set a timer and clean up fast.

8

Kindness jar

Do one kind thing today. Add a pebble to the jar each time.

9

Fort builder

I built a tiny fort. Can you build a taller one? Ready, set, build!

10

Brrr!

It's chilly in here! Eat one fruit or veggie today to help me warm up.

11

Candy cane hunt

Find all 5 paper candy canes hidden around the house. I'm holding the last one!

12

Snow angel

I made a snow angel in flour. Let's bake cookies together today!

+ 12 more days through Christmas Eve, all in the full bundle.

Shopping list

One trip covers the season

Most days use items you already have. The 2-page list rounds up the rest — with safer swaps for kids under 3.

Everyday supplies

  • Washable dry-erase markers (for mirror messages)
  • Yarn or twine (zip line, hanging the elf)
  • Painter's tape or removable tape
  • White cardstock for printing the cards
  • Scissors or a paper trimmer
  • Small envelopes and ribbon

Props & play

  • A few small stuffed animals
  • Mini tea set or toy cups
  • A flashlight & battery-powered string lights
  • Small gift boxes and wrapping paper
  • A jar for the kindness jar, plus pebbles or paper hearts
  • Cotton balls or white pom-poms (ages 4 and up)

Kitchen magic

  • Hot cocoa mix and a few mugs
  • Marshmallows and peppermint sticks
  • Candy canes
  • Cookie cutters, plain cookies and icing

How to print

From download to done in 10 minutes

1

Pick your age group

Part 1 for school-age kids, Part 2 for ages 2–4, Part 3 for teens. Mix and match if your children are different ages.

2

Print at actual size

Choose US Letter paper and set the scale to 100% or "Actual size". Turn off "Fit to page" so the cards aren't shrunk.

3

Use heavier paper if you can

White cardstock holds up best and stands up in front of the elf. Regular printer paper works too.

4

Cut along the dashed lines

Each card page makes 8 cards. Scissors or a paper trimmer both work well.

5

Add your elf's name

The cards sign off with "Love, your elf". Use a pen to write your elf's name over it before you cut, or leave it as is.

6

Set up each night

Read the parent guide, set the scene after bedtime, and place that day's card in front of your elf. Cards are numbered by day.

Tip: print one test page first. Cards print well in black & white if you're low on color ink.

Pricing

One bundle. One magical December.
